iPhone Lightning Dock - Silver

Overview

Available in a selection of metallic finishes to match your iPhone.

You can use it to charge and sync any iPhone that has a Lightning connector. Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s ideal for a desk or worktop. Even when your iPhone is in an Apple-designed case, it’s easy to dock. And you can unlock iPhone or use Touch ID without having to remove it from the dock.

Here are some ways you can use the iPhone Lightning Dock:

Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable (included with your iPhone) to sync iPhone and charge its battery.

Connect the dock to a power point using the Apple USB Power Adapter (included with your iPhone) to charge the battery.

Place your iPhone in the dock and enjoy clear audio during speakerphone calls.

Connect powered speakers or any headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack to the dock to listen to music while you sync and charge.

Dock Loosened My Lightning Port on Phone

This a beautiful looking, solid feeling, and aesthetically pleasing dock, but it has some major design flaws that will actually loosen your lightning port/connector over time (it did for my phone anyway). Most of the reviews on here for this dock I'm guessing were filled out immediately after using the dock as a first impression and were NOT filled out after a couple months of use. Usually Apple makes well designed hardware that works nearly flawlessly, but this dock has actually ruined my lightning port/connector of my iPhone 6 due to the horizontal wiggling/looseness of the way this dock was designed to be used with Apple designed phone cases. The way Apple designed this dock was so the consumer could use the dock with one of Apple's iPhone cases on their phone, but this resulted in a non-tight/loose fitting lightning connector/plug going into one's phone. If one uses the phone at all (even lightly touching their screen - especially on the top 1/3 of your phone) while the phone is docked then your phone will lose connection with the dock's lightning port/plug due to the horizontal play that the dock has with the phone (resulting in side to side wiggling). This loose connection over time will break down one's lightning port on their phone so whenever you plug in your phone to another charger (without the dock) it will be loose and wiggle resulting in your phone not being fully connected and charging properly. My wife has an iPhone 6, hasn't used the dock on her phone, and her lightning port plugs in solidly as it should (when plugged in directly to a lightning plug) without any wiggle movement and you hear a click, my phone however no longer clicks when you plug a lightning plug into it and the lightning port is now loose. Luckily I bought Apple Care for my phone and I will be asking Apple to fix my phone and fully refund the purchase of this dock that ruined my phone's lightning port connection.

This is an excellent quality product; it feels substantial (for a small item) and well made.
That, sadly, is as far as it goes ....
The design is really disappointing with the entire weight of any attached device resting on the lightning connector. With my iPhone 6 connected, I dare not press on the home button hard enough to wake the phone to read my thumb print, without feeling the need to use my other hand to support the phone. Add to this the fact that the silicone base, which is obviously meant to prevent slip, quickly picked up dust and started to slip on any slightly shiny surface with even the slightest amount of applied pressure.
Additionally, because of the curved nature of the mount for the lightning connector, any device feels unsteady, with unacceptable side to side (as well as front to back) movement possible.
As I'm about to upgrade to an iPhone 6S Plus, with it's weight gain over my iPhone 6, I feel this will only further accentuate the unsteadiness. Sadly I have had to return this item as I feel it is unfit for purpose.

I am sure if I had read the description three times I would have noticed but - this does NOT include the charging cord. It coyly says the cord is "included with your iPhone" - it could have just as easily said "sold separately"
When you add up the cost of this plus a cord, it is not great value. And annoying to people like me who bought it to use at work (and my cord's at home).
Unclear bordering on sneaky.

I love the look of this thing but its beauty is only skin-deep. With no other physical support, the lightening port supports the entire weight of the phone. At just a few months old, my phone rarely will charge on it unless it's in the perfect position. Even then, vibrations will cause it to start or stop charging. Pretty irritating to wake up and see your phone stopped charging sometime during the night and you're at 7%. I'm not sure if it's now damaged my lightening port or the lightening adapter on the base is going bad. A serious disappointment for the $49 price tag. My next review will be on Apple's support as I'm going to take this in to see what they have to say.

These iPhone docks work perfectly. Like some of the other reviewers, I originally thought the dock had caused damage to my lightning connector after using it for several months. So I wrote a negative review for the white version of this dock. Then I found out the problem was actually that lint had built up inside my iPhone's connector port. Once I cleaned out the port and removed the lint, the dock works perfectly once again. Unfortunately, I can't delete that unjustified negative review I had previously posted for the white dock.
Take comments that the dock does damage to your phone with a grain of salt.

I tested it out with a USB-C charger, a power meter tester, and one of these docks that I bought about a year ago. It does work, but fast charging (power delivery) is not enabled when going through the dock.

Both the 10.5 and 12.9 iPad Pros are too heavy for this. They will not work (at least not upright, which is the entire purpose of the stand). This is for iPhones, iPods (with lightning ports), and even the AirPods case. I think an iPad mini might work (but I wouldn’t count on it; someone else would have to confirm that)
